Career success is about more than just whether we can get the job done\u2013it\u2019s how we do it. One key to getting things done well is professionalism. More than just a way of describing someone (i.e. professional vs. unprofessional), professionalism is a practice that we can all engage in. Professionalism as a practice may be the secret to better organizations, better outcomes, and more satisfying work experiences. Additionally, professionalism can make it easier to market yourself both inside and outside your organization. We\u2019ll talk about the tenets of professionalism, how to become a more professional practitioner, and how they can help with career navigation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should I stay or should I go: When to bloom in place or seek new opportunities<\/strong>
